ABOUT ME

India has been associated with the Baha'i Faith right from its inception in 1844, as one of the first eighteen people who recognized and accepted the Bab, the forerunner of Baha'u'llah, was from India.
Baha'u'llah (1817-1892) is the Prophet of the Baha'i Faith. He was born in Iran. He is regarded by Baha'is as the most recent Divine Teacher in the line of the Messengers of God that have enlightened the peoples of the earth with their divine teachings. These include Divine Teachers such as Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. The central theme of Baha'u'llah's message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification into one global society. The principal challenge facing the peoples of the earth, as perceived by Baha'u'llah, is to accept their oneness and, to assist the processes of unification of the entire human race and to thereby carry forward an ever-advancing civilization
Unity in Diversity is the central theme of the Baha’i Faith. The Baha'is of India are actively engaged in seeking the betterment of society through the pursuit of processes of individual and social transformation. They are thus engaged, in consort with men, women, children and youth from the larger society, in a collective learning enterprise. Through these efforts and in collaboration with a number of like-minded organisations, the Baha'is of India are learning to address the grave challenges facing present day society such as the prevalence of caste and class prejudice, gender inequality, communal disharmony, illiteracy, lack of education, violence, poverty, corruption and moral degradation. It is the fervent hope and aspiration of the Baha’i community in India to see their dear nation grow in material and spiritual prosperity, to see that the bonds of unity between the thousands of ethnic and religious communities living within its borders grows, that its people not only excel in the acquisition of scientific knowledge but also become renowned for their moral character and for qualities such as love, justice, compassion, equality and rectitude of conduct and that India makes its own distinct contribution to the advancement of world civilization.
Inspired by the teachings of Baha'u'llah and the guidance of the Baha'i institutions, Baha'is of India follow a systematic pattern of human resource development in a seamless fashion building capacities of individuals from different age groups and different walks of life to enable them to lead a life of service to society.
The experience and learning of the Baha'is of India lends credence to the fact that human beings are born noble and that it is the word of God which is endowed with that regenerative power- understanding of which helps one to engage in an enduring path of spiritual and social transformation. The community building activities that drive this process are:
meetings that strengthen the devotional character of the community;
classes that nurture the tender hearts and minds of children;
groups that channel the surging energies of junior youth;
circle of study, open to all, that enable people of varied backgrounds to advance on equal footing and explore the application of the teachings to their individual and collective lives.
The Bahá'ís of India are engaged with the government agencies and organizations of civil society in a series of social discourses such as on advancing towards the equality of men and women, on what constitutes effective governance and addressing issues of rampant corruption. They also explore collectively with others in various social spaces the question of the role of religion as a progressive force in society and strive to better understand the harmony of science and religion in their efforts towards individual and collective transformation. The issues of human identity, and the role of human rights in uplifting individuals and communities in realizing their innate material and spiritual potential is another area of discourse focus in which the Bahá'ís are actively engaged. The Bahá'ís engage in the discourse that addresses the fundamental issue of the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty which is the greatest sign of injustice in policy formulation, programme implementation and evaluation.
National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of India is an affiliate of the Bahá'í International Community (BIC). BIC is an international non-governmental organization with affiliates in over 180 countries and territories, which together represent over five million members of the Bahá'í Faith.  BIC interacts and cooperates with the United Nations, its specialized agencies, with governments, as well as with inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations.  The BIC seeks to promote and apply principles derived from the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith which contribute to the resolution of current day challenges facing humanity and the development of united, peaceful, just, and sustainable civilization.
